Section of County Rd. B open to ATV travel SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

The petition to open up a section of County Rd. B in Siren for ATV travel surfaced in October 2016. After numerous traffic studies conducted by Highway Commissioner Mike Hoefs and multiple boards assessing the situation, the route is approved and unofficially open. All required signage will be implemented in the near future.

The route spans approximately five miles from the Village of Siren limits to Imme Rd. This stretch is a critical connecting point for multiple ATV routes in the area, one of the main reasons for its proposal.

Another positive aspect is the connection it gives ATV riders to the village.

As the highway commissioner, Hoefs had much to consider when deciding whether or not to approve the route.

“The route approved is a bit shorter than the proposal,” he said.

A&H raising funds quickly for new ambulance garage

SIREN—We all know about local initiatives when it comes to food, brewing, buying cars and more. Burnett County has an abundance of small businesses available for people who want to keep dollars circulating in the community and most recently, technology education was added to that list.

Sara Reimann, originally from Shell Lake, opened Professional Tutor, LLC at the beginning of July in Siren. Reimann’s shop is situated on Highway 35 in the same building as Trader Bill’s Discount Foods and has a wide focus— assisting people and groups to grow through technology.

Her hopes are to make this the one-stop-shop for those in and around Burnett County who are looking for a wide range of technology assistance. Inside the building are several rooms dedicated to selling tech products such as cell phone cables, solar chargers and Popsockets; fixing devices and teaching; along with helping local businesses with their marketing,

A&H—“We are moving fast,” says Roger Larson of the fundraising effort to build a new ambulance garage near the A&H Senior Center. “It’s got to be up and running when the new ambulance contract goes into effect on Jan. 1, but we want it built about a month earlier so we can get any bugs worked out that we might have with the heating, the doors or other systems.”

Larson is a supervisor on the Town of Jackson Board and A&H Senior Center President. He and Mick Peterson, a

Wicklund case: ‘more reckless than intentional’ SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GOVERNMENT CENTER—The case involving 19-year-old Jacob A. Wicklund has come to an end with his sentencing on July 27.

On May 9, 2017, Wicklund posted, “This is the day I’ve decided to become a school shooter,” in a private Facebook chatroom called Confessions of Mine. He was charged with making terrorist threats, a class I felony, and on July 17 entered a plea of no contest.

Wicklund was sentenced to four months in jail and will serve 40 days in addition to the 80 he has already served. Wicklund has been held in the Burnett County Jail since the day of arrest.

Upon release, Wicklund will be placed on a three-year probation sentence with eligibility for discharge after one year at the discretion of the Department of Corrections.

He is to have no contact with Burnett County schools. In addition, he must pursue a high school diploma or equivalent, undergo a mental health evaluation and comply with medical orders.

Grantsburg High School is not seeking restitution; however, Wicklund is ordered to pay $22.77 to another venue in the matter of a previous theft misdemeanor. Wicklund’s charges will be eligible for expungement if all criteria are met after the probation period.

His final sentence came after both the State and defense offered their recommendations.

Bill Norine, representing the State, suggested a six-month jail sentence, three-year probation and the previously mentioned additional criteria. The state recognized that law enforcement maintains Wicklund had no intent to carry out his threat.

Nathan Cockerham, representing Wicklund, suggested one year probation - the minimum for a felony - and an 80-day jail sentence completed through time already served. Cockerham stated the reasoning for this suggestion being, “There are so many mitigating factors. . . it appeared clear that on the day that Mr. Wicklund was apprehended that there was no intent to actually do what he posted on Facebook.”

He reiterated that Wicklund called local law enforcement himself and detailed his location, and was not in possession of a firearm.

Judge Kutz then explained that because of actual shootings, threats like Wicklund’s are “like throwing a rock into the middle of a calm pool. The waves radiate out far and wide.”

Despite law enforcement and the court determining Wicklund had no intention of carrying out his threats, Kutz maintained the threat caused a mass scaring of the entire county, with Grantsburg evacuating every school building, and Siren and Webster going into lock-down.

According to State law, a threat to make or cause death, bodily harm, or to damage property does not automatically constitute a “terroristic” threat. However, Wisconsin law does state that if a threat is made which results in an evacuation of a building and the perpetrator is aware of that risk, then the threat can be deemed terroristic.

Judge Kutz stated this case was more “reckless than intentional.”

Good people, good food ‘up north’ SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

DEVILS LAKE—When many think of resorts, images of clear pools, fine-dining and relaxed people fill their minds. Devils Lake is no different; however, this resort is nestled in the woods by a large lake, filled with happy campers, and fresh, community grown food.

In a previous article in the Devils Lake series, Jeff and Wendy Singer and their tiny house were the focus. Well, just down the trail is the home of Jim Nohava, and a community garden.

Nohava, Inver Grove Heights, has been vacationing at Devils Lake with his family for the last 10 years in both summer and winter.

The idea to develop a community garden surfaced two years ago, he noted.

“I was talking to Bob Peterson and I said, there’s all this open space over here. We should have a garden,” he said in a tone that suggests the idea was long overdue for discussion. The process was set into motion this past spring.

Peterson, another Devils Lake vacationer, works for Midwest Fence in the Twin Cities and donated fencing for the project.

The garden began as an open, grassy field. “It was just sitting there empty,” said Nohava.

With the help of a Burnett County local, Val Schwartz, a 60 by 60 area was tilled and nearly ready for seeding.

Other enthusiastic resort goers donated money, a total of $80, to pay for the tilling.

Nohava wasted no time as he announced to the community through email and other outlets that planting would begin after Mother’s Day. Nohava enjoyed the help of many while preparing the garden for the summer; however, his passion for the project propelled him to spend many hours assuring his vision came to fruition by seeding, weeding, and securing the rows to keep the garden somewhat organized.

Now this garden boasts three rows of corn, green and yellow beans, yellow, white and red onion, kohlrabi, varying types of squash, snow peas, radishes, jalapeños, cilantro, over 50 tomato plants, and more.

“It’s like a jungle,” he said.

Nohava also mentioned how well the garden is coming along noting how fast and large the plants are growing.

Because most of the community are weekenders, Nohava explained a timed watering system is set up to ensure the garden is tended to during the week.

“There are no rules,” he said. Nohava just hopes people will enjoy fresh foods and never let anything go to waste.

“None of us are bonafide farmers. It’s a collective effort,” he said.

Co-owner of the resort, Mark Wallskog, said “The turn out of participation and the number of types of plants in amazing.”

Nohava stated the community garden, its growth and support is a testament to the generous and caring ownership of the resort by the owners, including Wallskog.

Over the past couple months, many people have enjoyed the locally grown food. Every Sunday morning, the Singer’s hold a community breakfast where many community members prepare food straight from the garden.

The garden is in its first year and Nohava explained he will come back to Devils Lake for years to come, so it seems the garden will only grow.

Stand-up!

Don’t worry, it’s not a call for protest or anything of that nature. It’s about comedy.

For many years I’ve listened to stand-up while doing various tasks around the house, eating, even driving— on long car rides, favorite music stations can fall silent in my ears after too long.

To go on about how comedy is a wonderful source of escapism would be fruitless as we all know this to be true. However, I don’t feel comedy gets the credit it deserves. To write a novel, a poem even, takes a considerable amount of time.

Research must be undertaken, in whatever form the artist chooses: people watching, reading, lengthy conversations, mediation: whatever it is. This process is accompanied with a dedication of time. Time equals drafts.

No matter the length of a quality piece of writing, editing can take nearly as much time - more at times - as the actually writing. The same Sentinel must apply to comedy skits.

Recently I’ve found myself imagEditor ining my favorite comedians standSean Devlin ing in a studio apartment (that’s just where they live in my mind) telling jokes to the walls with a notepad in hand, furiously crossing out certain words, entire jokes. They do this until they, what? Think others will laugh?

This is the part I hope others will think about after listening to comedy, stand-up in particular. Comics must have a certain passion to understand human nature on a level most people rarely explore.

In fiction, a writer can “hide behind a character” some say. I disagree with that, all the words come from one individual who thought and felt them, bestowed each onto the page in a specific order. A comic does the same, however, live and before an audience demanding satisfaction. A stand-up audience can’t close the comic like a book and move on to the next one, it’s in real time. To stand before people, reach into the guts of the audience and pull emotion out to erupt in the air in the form of laughter is quite a personal endeavor.

I must have contributed to half the views of Dylan Moran’s Youtube videos. Moran is an Irish comedian who tours internationally. I saw him in Ireland while in graduate school and his work inspires my writing process. It is clean and natural, what every piece of art should be.

His work shies away from much of the over-sexualized, shock factor comedy that has surfaced and he presents himself as a jaded cynic with the ability to relate to anyone.

“Now, I meant to talk about something else earlier on, and I’ve forgotten what it was. I’ve remembered what it is again, but I’ve also forgotten. And that’s really what adult life is like most of the time.” This is one of my favorite Moran quotes, along with “Fruit... it’s just God showing off. ‘Look at all the colours I know!’”

Comedy is also a good way to process current affairs, it reminds us to laugh, think and live.

Dylan Moran, Simon Amstell, Bill Burr. Who are your favorites?

What a novel concept!

As the summer continues to slide on by, it’s been interesting to watch the various machinations of the U.S. Congress as they try to solve the political, social and economic issues attached to healthcare.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, often referred to as the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or its nickname Obamacare, was signed into law in March of 2010.

President Obama made this legislation one of the cornerstones of his administration, devoting much of his political and social capital to get the law passed. If you will recall, the Democrats had majorities in both houses of Congress and still had a hard time From the Publisher’s passing the legislation.

Fred Grandy, the actor who played Desk “Gopher” on the television show “The Love Boat,” served as a congressman Tom Stangl from Iowa from 1987-1995. I covered many off hi his town hall events, and he had a saying that he often used that I have come to believe is very true.

Whenever someone asked him to have congress intervene in a situation, he would reply: “Are you sure you want us to get involved? Because if we do so, even with the best of intentions, we will probably make things worse in the end.”

As Obama used his momentum from the election to get congress to pass the legislation, he was met by resistance from members of his own party. In the end, some late-night maneuvering and political quid pro quos were given to get the measure passed.

The Democrats lost their majority in the Senate in the mid-term elections of 2010, and the battle to repeal the ACA was joined. It has been going on for seven years now and a bill that was well intended has, in many ways, made things worse. No one who pays for health insurance or bills for healthcare services

would call the last seven years “affordable.”

It seems that rates continue to rise and employers struggle to afford to be able to provide coverage, increasing deductibles and copayments in an effort to slow the rate of growth of premiums.

The ACA’s protection of people with pre-existing health conditions and allowing dependent children to remain on family policies until the age of 26 have been helpful.

Fast forward to 2016. Donald Trump is elected president, promising to repeal and replace the ACA. With Republican majorities in both houses of congress, it should be a slam dunk, right?

Yeah, not so much.

Like Obama, Trump is battling members of his own party to get this campaign promise fulfilled.

This past week, the Senate worked late hours, trying to determine what measures would get enough support to proceed.

One of the more interesting proposals, in my opinion, came from Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson, who proposed that members of Congress be forced to purchase their own insurance, so they could somehow relate to what typical Americans are going through.

Members of Congress get primo health insurance, courtesy of you and me.

It was a strictly principled amendment, one that didn’t have a snowball’s chance of passing, but I’m glad that someone in Washington has an inkling of what we are going through.

Hopefully a better measure will get passed, eventually. But I wouldn’t bet on it.

The Journal changed its name to “Journal and Sentinel”, but later reverted to the Journal of Burnett County. When the Journal folded in 1962, Wilbur A. Nelson revived the Burnett County Sentinel. Following his death in 1975, his wife, Marjorie Nelson and son, Gary Nelson operated it until Feb. 1, 1994, when it was purchased by Mainstream Publications. It was then purchased by Eugene Johnson on Dec. 1, 1998.

Games and goodies

GRANTSBURG SENIORS

by Patzy Wenthe

Though not a regular gambler – visiting casinos from none to two or three times a year – the change of scenery from time to time is good for the soul and creativity.

A guest was in my home for a couple days last week and on Friday evening, he suggested we go.

I had not checked out the area’s gaming stops since my arrival to Wisconsin last year and it was past time.

My guest hadn’t too much enjoyed the hike running dogs the day before due to the deer flies swarming, buzzing and hovering incessantly around mostly one’s head. I figured the casino was a good trade off – his delight Newbie in more than mine, but I was game.

(Pun intended.) the NorthBesides, my earlier suggestion of picking the nearly last of the wild woods raspberries was met with raised eyeLori Callahan brows.

I knew where the casinos were located and after checking on exact distances, we decided on the new St. Croix Casino Hertel on Hwy 70, about 10 miles east of Siren.

Traffic was moderate and it’s a visually pleasant drive from Grantsburg to Hertel via Hwy 70 with the hills, lakes, rivers and streams, and farm and forested lands.

The new casino opened this year in May and the staff was friendly, courteous and professional. I especially liked that it was much less noisy than most casinos I have attended.

I stopped gambling before my guest did and people watching can be fun, too.

No insult is intended, but I don’t share in the attraction to the “spinning fruit, objects or symbols” slot games. Preferable in slots is poker, where I have choice in the play and the ability to affect the result.

Whether that’s actually true or not, at least I get to punch more than one button per game.

Every so often, I see someone who looks robotic in their expression and posture. This trip was no exception. With only a finger moving mechanically and fruits spinning before her again and again, one woman’s hypnotic gaze was noteworthy.

Maybe they’re planted so we can all say, “If I ever get that bad...” and feel okay about our participation in the vice.

We didn’t come out ahead, but that’s the usual nature of the game. The overall experience was an enjoyable one.

My guest left the next day and on Sunday, I got to pick those fast-disappearing wild raspberries and collected about two pints.

One can wear a treated cap and ignore the flies to tolerate them. I’ve seen others in netted caps.

The flies land less often than they threaten. Too, they are less bothersome in a large patch that one can bury themselves in, the berries best viewed and plucked from beneath their branches anyway. It makes for a lot of scratches on any exposed skin, but I’ll take the latter over the flies. I’ve discovered only lovers of this late summer berry will make the often uncomfortable effort.

Few unripened raspberries remain; however, the blackberry bushes are loaded and will be good for the picking in about a week. I’ll be back out there again, hoping for cooling temperatures and less fly activity.

It could be we all have things that can make us lose track of our surroundings and put us in a semi-hypnotic state. I’ve picked berries for “about 30 minutes” only to discover three hours had actually passed instead.

I hope you had a chance to attend the National Night Out! It’s an awesome time to gather with your family and friends.

I’ve heard from a few of you who have visited the new A&W Restaurant in Siren. It’s getting rave reviews! So, take a ride one of these warm afternoons and check it out!

enue to be shared between the Webster Education Foundation, Larson Family Library, Northwest Passage and the Burnett County Tourism Coalition.

“We put aside a thousand bricks, hoping to sell at least half of them,” said Village President Jeff Roberts. “Sales haven’t been as brisk as we hoped, so the revenue distribution might not be as generous as we would like.”

Doorstop, paperweight or planter are just a few ways single bricks can be used. Brick sales will end September 1. Village Clerk Deb Doriott-Reineccius recommends calling ahead when making a purchase.

Rural Wisconsin hospitals among best

BY SHAMANE MILLS WISCONSIN PUBLIC RADIO

MADISON (AP) — The quality of healthcare can depend on where you live. A new federal report suggests Wisconsin’s small, rural hospitals are better than similar facilities in other states.

Wisconsin’s “critical access hospitals� as they are formally known ranked first in the nation on 28 quality measures for the Medicare Beneficiary Quality Improvement Project. The measures include immunization levels, patient satisfaction, care in the emergency department and transfer of patients needing specialized treatment.

Wisconsin has 63 critical access hospitals, which are defined as having fewer than 25 beds, said Kelly Court, chief quality officer at the Wisconsin Hospital Association. The Federal Health Resources and Services Administration assesses these facilities by analyzing data from Medicare patients before ranking them. “If Medicare patients are getting a high level of quality of care, we can be confident that those same processes and systems are used for all patients. And so when we see high scores on measures that reflect just Medicare patients, we can confer that same level of care is happening for all patients,� Court told Wisconsin Public Radio .

The Wisconsin Hospital Association, also known as WHA, has been working with rural hospitals on the quality measures to improve performance, Court said. “Those are actually the measures that WHA worked on with a number of the rural hospitals to improve so that we have high performance on that, so when that

transfer happens the right care is done in the rural setting and then there’s a really good smooth hand off to accepting facility,� Court said.

Across the nation, rural hospitals have faced financial difficulties, and many have closed. Court said rural hospitals in Wisconsin are faring better than their counterparts across the country. “Sometimes their payer mix isn’t as great, but I think in Wisconsin our hospitals tend to be financially healthy. They’re very engaged in working on quality. Many of them are part of bigger (healthcare) systems,� Court said. “So I would say for the most part, Wisconsin hasn’t had that same issue that we see in some of the other states. Obviously, Medicaid reimbursement is a big part of that.�

Participation in the Medicare Beneficiary Quality Improvement Project is voluntary, and there are financial incentives for the hospitals. “There is some federal grant money available, and it’s really a small amount of money each year that is administered by the Wisconsin Office of Rural Health. To be eligible for the grant money, you have to collect the data on the measures,� Court said. “But, I think what really drives our rural hospitals in the state to collect the data and improve it is their commitment to high quality. So these are measures that are really important to their patient population.�

Court said this favorable ranking is consistent with other national assessments of healthcare in Wisconsin. Federal officials said Wisconsin ranked fourth last year in the Medicare Beneficiary Quality Improvement Project.

ATV: New route open CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

The main reason for this is due to Hoefs’ heavy considering on the safety of the implementation. A county road is one with a high volume of traffic traveling at speeds greater than within village limits.

However, due to Burnett County roads having relatively low traffic volumes, the decision to provide a route was feasible.

In June, Hoefs stood before board members and explained the results of a traffic study which was conducted.

Hoefs maintained that on average, an ATV operator would see three to four cars and it would take a total of 12 minutes to travel the suggested route.

During the June board meeting and meetings that followed, Hoefs stressed that whenever dealing with transportation, there is always risk

involved and especially with the comingiling of different types of vehicles.

The commissioner detailed a critical aspect of these projects, considering stopping sight distance. “Stopping sight distance is one of the major foundations for transportation engineering and road design.

The idea is all hills and curves be designed to allow the traveling public to be able to see far enough ahead to adequately perceive any hazards that may exist. Stopping sight distance is the sum of two distances: the distance traveled during the perception and reaction time and the distance to stop the vehicle. The perception and reaction distance used in road design is the distance travelled in 2.5 seconds. For example, a vehicle traveling 60 miles per hour will travel 220 feet in 2.5 seconds. This distance is added to a tabulated distance to stop the vehicle.�

Fiedler

FIEDLER FORD, INC.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — A Rust Belt state that built a manufacturing legacy through assembly-line jobs will have to quickly transition to a more highly skilled workforce now that Foxconn has selected Wisconsin as the site of its coveted U.S. electronics plant.

“This will not be your grandfather’s factory,” said Tom Still, president of the Wisconsin Technology Council. “This will be a high-tech facility that will attract workers of various skill levels to produce products that will really define where the economy is going to go for years to come.”

Foxconn is best known for making iPhones and other Apple products in China. It entered into a memorandum of understanding Thursday to build its first U.S. manufacturing plant in Wisconsin — a decision cheered for its potential to transform the state’s economy. But many questions remain, including the type of jobs the Taiwan-based electronics giant will offer and whether it will follow through on its plans.

The deal calls for finalizing terms of the agreement — which will require a special legislative session to approve a $3 billion incentive package — no later than Sept. 30. Gov. Scott Walker and Foxconn CEO Terry Gou signed the memorandum inside Milwaukee’s art museum, a white, winged-shaped structure by Santiago Calatrava that sits on Lake Michigan. The project to bring Foxconn to Wisconsin was called “Flying Eagle,” they said.

Foxconn said its $10 billion factory — at a yet-to-bedetermined site in southeastern Wisconsin — will initially bring 3,000 jobs and eventually employ 13,000 workers. It would be a substantial gain for a state that currently has 472,000 manufacturing jobs and is still recovering from factory layoffs — including the clo-

sure of a General Motors plant after the 2008 financial crisis.

Foxconn has not said what type of jobs it will offer in order to produce liquid-crystal display panels that are used in televisions and computer screens. The average salary for the jobs will be nearly $54,000, suggesting some of the higher-end positions will be engineers, software developers and people proficient in computer-assisted design, Still said.

Economists elsewhere note highly skilled postings aren’t always easy to fill.

“For an indicator, I would look at Michigan. There’s lots of workers in Michigan and there’s lots of advanced manufacturing jobs in Michigan, and most of them are difficult to fill,” said Stefanie Lenway, dean of the Opus College of Business at the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis.

Lenway also said that making LCD screens doesn’t involve people “because people create defects on the glass and that’s expensive,” so it’s unclear how many of the jobs will be for assembly workers.

Still said worker shortages for higher-skilled jobs are common around the country and it’s a challenge that Foxconn could’ve faced with any of the other states it was considering — Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas.

Wisconsin officials say the state’s higher education system is capable of producing enough employees by the time the plant opens in 2020. However, it’s a process that needs to start now.

Walker said part of wooing Foxconn to Wisconsin included meetings with chancellors from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and UW-Milwaukee and the president of Gateway Technical College to talk

about training opportunities so graduates would be prepared to work at the plant.

“For something of this magnitude we’re going to have to quite literally start training people now for jobs that will be open over the next couple of years,” Walker said Thursday during an interview on WTMJ-AM. “We’re going to start doing programs specifically targeted towards getting the workforce they’re going to need.”

To close the Foxconn deal, state lawmakers still have to approve a $3 billion worth of tax credits for the company.

The incentive package, which lawmakers could take up in a special session next month, will be pro-rated on how many jobs the company creates and how much it spends.

Walker and other state officials have said the trade-off for the incentives will pay off in the long run, noting that Fox-

conn’s presence will create thousands of other jobs through the hundreds of suppliers it will rely on for materials.

Walker said Democrats who were skeptical of the deal were “cynics.”

But, the full impact of Foxconn’s planned factory may still be too early to measure, according to an economics expert at the UW-Milwaukee.

“It’s difficult to assess how this factory, if in fact it comes to be, will affect the labor market without knowing what the jobs are,” said Marc Levine, senior fellow and founding director of UWM’s Center for Economic Development.

Critics have also cautioned that Foxconn has made promises before to invest in the U.S. and not followed through.

Foxconn promised in 2013, for example, to invest $30 million and hire 500 workers for a new, high-tech factory in Pennsylvania that was never built.

“So I think there’s some question about the modus operandi of Foxconn on these sorts of things,” Levine said.

graphic printing needs, websites and other technology struggles.

Reimann explained that while she can offer computer and device repair, one of her many goals is to educate and help local businesses succeed with technology.

“The way I see it going is for this to become a training center. I have a conference room that sits 12 comfortably and I want to branch out to individuals and businesses for all their computer, smartphone and device needs,” she said.

Fifteen years ago, Reimann began teaching community education courses. Back then, she was informing community members about Windows 95 and teaching Microsoft Office Programs. From there, she decided to earn two degrees from WITC-Rice Lake in computer networking and micro-computer software.

After her own education, she began working for larger companies in the IT field while continuing to teach local community education classes. She has also taught several customized training classes for local business contracted with WITC-Rice Lake.

Eight years ago, she launched a career as a private contractor. In that time, she built a foundation of clients which now totals over 400 individuals and organizations, and up until recently, relied solely on referrals.

Of course, as time progresses, technology does the same. This is Reimann’s interest, the forever evolving nature.

“I love technology. I’m always looking at the latest gadget,” she said.

This is what primarily lends to her success as a technology educator. In the first week of the store opening, several locals wandered in to see what new business had taken home in Siren. One older gentleman asked Reimann what her store is all about. She said, “anything and everything technology.” Now, that man has multiple one-on-one sessions with Reimann to learn about his newly acquired iPad and Mac. Reimann schedules both open classes and accepts individuals who seek guidance with devices or software.

“In all my classes, I never begin with a syllabus. I ask the person or group what they already know, take a few steps back and start from there,” she said.

Her niche is in Microsoft software. “I want to help people advance their careers.”

The introduction of a shop like this has many benefits: local help with technology (rather than having to travel to larger cities), assistance with ever-changing software, and, possibly most important, a place for low-income individuals to be educated and advance their skills in a competitive workforce.

Part of Reimann’s mission is to take the scare aspect out of new, shiny technology.

“Many people are afraid of technology,” she said. While she aims to offer people a better understanding of their devices, she also goes as far as to fix broken devices and even set up home theaters.

“I can give people the relief that they don’t have to figure it out on their own.”

Loving support makes breastfeeding work SUBMITTED BY SARAH MILLER, RD, CD, CLS BURNETT COUNTY DHHS-WIC DIRECTOR AND PUBLIC HEALTH DIETITIAN

In the United States, most mothers want – and try – to breastfeed. Unfortunately, one mother’s interest alone is not always enough to make breastfeeding possible. The success rate among mothers who want to breastfeed can be greatly improved through active support from their families, friends, communities, clinicians, healthcare leaders, employers and policymakers. Given the importance of breastfeeding for the health and well-being of mothers and children, it is critical that we take action across the country to support breastfeeding.

There are many great ways to support breastfeeding women such as providing positive messages and encouragement to mothers who are breastfeeding or are thinking about breastfeeding. Healthcare providers are not the only ones educating and sharing about the many positive benefits of breastfeeding for infants and mothers.

Family and friends who share their own personal breastfeeding experiences can be helpful in motivating other mothers to choose to breastfeed or continue breastfeeding.

Another way to provide breastfeeding support is to encourage local businesses and employers to provide a breastfeeding-friendly space for mothers to breastfeed their infant/child or to pump and store breast milk for their infant while they are at work. Employers are finding that by supporting breastfeeding mothers, they usually have less turnover and absences, while having better employee performance and job satisfaction.

The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Program provides breastfeeding education and support to mothers who qualify. To see if you or a family member qualifies for the WIC program, call Burnett County Department of Health and Human Services at 715-349-7600 Ext. 1267.

A prenatal breastfeeding education class and a breastfeeding support group, “Bosom Buddies,” are offered through the Burnett County Family Resource Center in Siren. For more information on the Bosom Buddies class and/or support group, please call 715-349-2292.

Working together to support breastfeeding mothers can make a difference in the overall health of our communities!

Burnett Medical Center – a place for art BURNETT COUNTY—Residents at Burnett Medical Center’s Continuing Care Center are enjoying some new artwork thanks to two Grantsburg High School students.

The main entry doorway received a makeover and is now a beautiful mural of bookshelves.

Thorne Carter and Autumn Stinnett volunteered their time to create a mural for the facility. The purpose was to create a diversion for residents at the Continuing Care Center. Instead of seeing a doorway they now see a bookshelf that creates more of a home-like atmosphere. This non medicinal approach decreases anxiety, distress, restlessness and the desire for residents to leave the facility.

Upon completing, Thorn Carter expressed, “It was a good experience. I love realistic style and art pieces.” Both Carter and Stinnett

agreed that it was a challenging experience when working with the colors and creating a realistic mural on a canvas they have not worked with before.

Grantsburg Elementary School is currently putting together a screening for three and four year old children in the Grantsburg School District. The screening will take place on August 15th at Nelson School. The students who will be screened are those that will turn four between September 1st, 2017 and March 31st, 2018. The screening is designed to be the first step of formal communication between the school and your child. The screening will last about an hour and culminate with a brief exit interview conducted by our principal, Elizabeth Olson, and our school psychologist, Caitlin Bloyer. At that time you will be able to ask any questions you might have about the school or your child’s development.

We understand you are very busy, but we hope you can attend the screening with your child. If your child was born between September 1st, 2013 and March 31st, 2014, please call the Elementary School at 715-463-2320 to schedule a time for your child’s screening.

WEEKLY WAG News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County

It’s been a busy week at the shelter with strays coming and going. Fortunately, a couple were quickly reclaimed and are back home safe and sound. Still waiting are a pair of adorable lab-cross pups, a male a and female, that were p picked up in Danbury, a v very nice young female A Australian Cattle Dog m mix found in the Grantsb burg area and a gorgeous, y young medium-haired c calico kitty who was ffound on Old Hwy. 35. If y you know anyone missing ttheir four-footed family m members, please let them k Boris know we have them in safekeeping.

This week it is all about Boris, an extremely handsome five-year-old dog who came to the shelter as a stray. Sadly, he was never reclaimed so Boris is ready to be adopted and become part of your family.

His breed is up for debate and Boris isn’t letting us in on his secret. It’s been a bit of a discussion.

He is a big boy, definitely has the head of a lab and from there. . . well you get the picture! Whatever Boris is, he is a wonderfully smart dog with a beautiful thick coat and is tri-colored. If you’re looking for a companion, why not come and meet this guy and spend a little time getting to know him. You won’t be disappointed. He’s likely to win you over with his good looks and happy personality. How can one not fall in love with him? Just look at that happy face!

Once again, we are in need of bleach and laundry detergent. It seems like we’re always doing laundry and washing beds, towels, etc. It’s part of the daily routine for our Animal Care Specialists who work hard at keeping everything spic-and-span for the residents. They do such a great job in caring for the animals and ensuring they have a clean and healthy environment while waiting for that special person or family to come and adopt them.

“You can do something big, or you can do something small. Because whatever you do……it’s better than nothing at all! Foster – Adopt – Rescue – Advocate!”

Have a great week and remember to “Adopt, don’t shop!”

Temporary closure of Howell Landing on the Namekagon River CONTACTS: JEAN VAN TATENHOVE JEAN_VAN_TATENHOVE@NPS.GOV 715-483-2278

ST. CROIX FALLS— Major flooding in 2016 combined with impacts from normal use at Howell Landing, a popular camping and river access area on the Namekagon River, requires the National Park Service (NPS) to close the area temporarily for rehabilitation.

Beginning on August 7, 2017, the public will not be allowed to camp, park, or access the river at Howell Landing.

This project will address a failing retaining wall and unsafe stairway with a new access ramp that will comply with ADA guidelines and use environmentally sustainable and safe materials. In addition, the NPS will install a new well for drinking water, stabilize and restore the shoreline, and improve the parking area.

The project is expected to take several weeks. Check updates on the park website: www.nps.gov/sacn by looking at the “alerts” at the top of the webpages.

The public is encouraged to use alternatives to Howell Landing such as West Howell Landing located directly across the river. Drinking water is not available at West Howell Landing; however, the existing well at Howell Landing will remain open and accessible from the river only.

Staff at the Namekagon River Visitor Center can help you to plan river trips on other nearby sections of the Namekagon and St. Croix rivers. The center is open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily until September 5, 2017.

The drive is hosted by all three

St. Croix Casinos – Danbury, Hertel and Turtle Lake. Guests donating three school supply items will receive $5 in Turtle Bucks slot play.

Guests donating four or more items will receive $10 in Turtle Bucks.

All donated items must be new.

Items such as markers, pencils, etc.

must be in their original packages, not donated individually. Guests may contribute once per day per casino.

At the conclusion of the drive, the St. Croix Tribal Council will distribute the donated school supplies to area schools.

WEBSTER—Webster graduate, Mary Mack, will be performing her newest hour of stand-up comedy at 7 p.m. Friday, August 11 at St. Croix Falls Dancing Dragonfly Winery. The show is part of a successful comedy series recently launched by the winery.

Mack’s voice is known from the KQ Morning Show, KFAN sports radio, or The Bob & Tom show.

She’s been heard on Fox and Cartoon Network animations, and podcasts such as Marc Maron’s WTF, and American Public Media’s Wits.

Most recently, she was seen on NBC’s Last Call with Carson Daly and TBS’ Conan, for which she was asked to make a second appearance early this fall.

To best explain Mack’s style, think Garrison Keillor mixed with a little Andy Kaufman…but with more rural know-how. As iconic funny man Louie Anderson describes her, “Mack is an original character from the Midwest that rings true. She’ll be telling you a joke about one thing, and then she’ll break off into a song about minnows.”

The hilarious Kate Anderson (an upstate New York native and now Minnesota transplant) will open the show. Tickets are $25 at the door or $20 in advance, available at 715-483-9463 or online at www.

AMBULANCE GARAGE: A&H raising funds CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

former supervisor for the Town of Scott, are spearheading the fund drive.

“We have talked with North Ambulance over the past four to five years to let them know we have this A&H Senior Center with space available in the lower, walk-out level to house a crew and build an ambulance garage. Now it’s finally happening.

“Mick is very community-minded. He is involved with his church and the food shelf. He has been out beating the bushes, talking to people to come up with money. We have been successful so far,” said Larson.

SOLICITING FUNDS The group expects it will need $100,000 to build the garage to ambulance specs. The garage will be 24’ wide, 30’ deep and have heating and air conditioning systems. The ambulance needs a 12’ overhead door, so the building will have 14’ sidewalls. It will have framed walls with steel exterior and steel roof, if they collect enough funds. “It will be white steel on the inside so it will basically be a maintenance-free building,” Larson said.

“We have been out soliciting donations. As of today (Monday) we have $35,000 in an account already collected and another $25,000 pledged. We are doing a mailing this week going to every improved property in the towns Jackson, Webb Lake and Scott. That’s about 3,000 letters. “We’re hoping for the best. It’s going to happen.”

Larson and Peterson are talking to lake associations, private individuals, civic groups and businesses. “So far people have been very generous,” he reports. “I have no idea what to expect from the mailing, but we’re confident we’re going to raise the money. It’s an important need in our community. Everybody out in our part of the county is very supportive of it.”

STRONG NEED FOR AMBULANCE “We are out on the corner of the ambulance service area, and we have a large population of seniors.

“We’ve got Voyager Village. Most of the people who reside there are seniors. Everyone feels we need a

nearby ambulance and one that is staffed full-time by a professionally-trained ambulance crew.

“This move to bring in an ambulance to A&H and a professional staff is a good thing county-wide,” Larson added. “This new ambulance contract distributes the service better. The real plus with this contract is it’s all full-time, fully-trained ambulance crews. We should see improved response time all around the county.”

“We feel it’s an excellent ambulance location. With a major intersection of two country roads, we’ve got good roads in all four directions. It’s the best access to everything in our area. We are about nine minutes south of Hwy. 77 going north and about six minutes going south to Hwy. 77.

CREW HOUSED IN SENIOR CENTER The A&H Senior Center building’s lower level will be renovated by North Ambulance as necessary to house its ambulance crews. Most recently, it was a remote medical clinic for Spooner Hospital. It has a day room, kitchenette and exam rooms that could be converted to sleeping quarters.

“The garage will be partially built into the hillside.

More than a dozen trees have already been felled and removed from the northwestern corner of the lot.

The floor level will be about 1½ feet higher than the existing parking lot.Matting will be installed to control erosion, or rip-rap, or both,” said Larson.

“We have our land use permit from the county so we’re good to go. We hope to break ground by Sept.

1. The earthwork will be done before that, we hope.

“We’re talking with contractors and expect to officially select a contractor and sign papers next week.

Everything is pretty much on board.”

DONATIONS AND GRANTS “We have applied for a grant, but we won’t know until November if we get it, and by that time the building will essentially be completed,” Larson concluded.

Donations are tax deductible because the Senior Center is a 501 (c) (3) non profit organization. Donations may be mailed to A&H Ambulance Garage Fund, 3896 South Shore Road, Webster WI 54893.

New contract moves ambulance to A&H

BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

SIREN—A new five-year contract approved Thursday between Burnett County Towns Association and North Memorial Ambulance Service moves the ambulance now housed at Danbury to the A&H area in the Town of Scott in January.

Two additional ambulances will continue to be housed in Webster and Grantsburg.

Residents of northeastern Burnett County have wanted a closer ambulance for several years. The Danbury area will now be served by the Webster and A&H ambulances.

Another new feature in the 2018-22 contact provides 24/7 professional staffing for all three ambulances by EMTs, Advanced EMTS and paramedics. The previous attempt to staff an A&H ambulance with first responder volunteers proved unsuccessful as volunteers moved, took jobs out of the area or became physically unable to continue.

North Ambulance was the sole bidder among six ambulance companies invited. Based in the Twin Cities, North has provided ambulance service to Burnett County for nearly 30 years. It serves much of northern Minnesota and northeastern Wisconsin.

The Burnett Towns Association unanimously approved ambulance contract proposal #7, which will cost about $701,000 for the next year. That amount covers North’s expenses of providing three ambulances, housing and maintaining the vehicles, and salaries for its 24-hour staff. Clients using ambulance services are charged for expenses incurred during their transport.

“Each municipality received a contract with their dollar amounts for the coming year, along with the IRS paperwork to allow the ambulance company to recover bad debt through their tax returns,” said Chris Sybers, former Meenon Town Chair and Towns Association Chair who was the main negotiator with North.

“It’s a done deal.”

Annual increase likely

Job Fair JOIN OUR AWARD WINNING TEAM

Thursday, August 3rd 4 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.

IMMEDIATE OPENINGS

The contract allows North to increase its contract fees by a maximum of five percent annually during the five-year contact. Sybers said he, current Towns Chair Darwyn Brown and North have discussed coming together for an annual review of North’s books so the two sides can come to a mutual agreement on the amount of annual increase. “That will be up to the current Towns Association board to work that out with North,” Sybers said. “By looking at the cost-plus sharing provisions, I think the five percent increase will be the cheaper option.”

North says the annual increase option is necessary because it lost about $300,000 during the previous Burnett County five-year contract.

All 18 of the townships and village boards involved in the contract voted as a full board at their July meetings. All are now committed to the five-year contract period.

Participating are the towns of Anderson, Blaine, Daniels, Grantsburg, Jackson, LaFollette, Lincoln, Meenon, Oakland, Sand Lake, Siren, Scott, Swiss, Union, Webb Lake, West Marshland and Wood River, plus the villages of Siren, Webster and Grantsburg.

The towns of Dewey, Rusk, Roosevelt and Trade River contract with other North Ambulance service groups or other ambulance providers.

Public hearing backs runway renovation

OBITUARY

Joyce Lee Linkenheil

BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—Following a public hearing vote that widely favored using state and federal funds to rebuild and resurface the 3,000-foot asphalt runway at Grantsburg Municipal Airport, the village board held a special meeting and voted to start the process toward obtaining the funds.

Presently, $600,000 is available to the airport and another $150,000 will become available this fall. Grantsburg and many other small municipal airports receive $150,000 annually for airport maintenance, but accepting the money comes with strings attached.

The municipality that accepts the funds must promise to operate (not close) the airport for 20 years. Grantsburg has never before accepted the money; instead, it has directed its funds each year to the Burnett County Airport at the government center north of Siren.

If the village accepts airport funding, the airport must maintain its safety features to meet FAA standards, including the airport lighting system and other requirements the FAA may set.

That 20-year requirement has caused previous village boards to shy away, but the present board appears to agree with the pilots’ group that they are devoted to operating the airport without expense to taxpayers and that they can attract more pilots who will help add hangars, dollars and services including a fueling system.

VOTE: 20 FAVOR, 3 OPPOSE About 40 people attended the 6:30 p.m. Monday hearing at the Crex Education Center Auditorium. Some were not Grantsburg residents. The village board members and employees did not vote. Of the 24 votes cast, 20 favored going forward, three opposed and one was undecided.

The project cost is estimated at $1.2 million, but could come in lower or higher. Federal Aviation Administration entitlement funds to airports would supply 90 percent of the funding, with five percent coming from the Wisconsin Bureau of Aeronautics (BOA) funding and a five percent local match.

Runways are the highest priority item for FAA expenditures, so the funding request is likely to be approved, Village Clerk Sheila Meyer told the board.

The local pilots’ group has pledged to cover the local five percent match to avoid any increase to local taxpayers. The pilots’ contribution could come to $60-70,000, which they say they will cover by making additional payments with their annual hangar leases.

The airport has been in continuous operation since 1994. It has a 3,000-foot grass runway that is mowed and maintained by the pilots in addition to the asphalt runway.

DETERIORATING RUNWAY The asphalt has deteriorated over the years and contains many cracks an inch or more wide. Some at the meeting, including former Village President Glenn Rolloff, contended the cracks could be sealed for about $75,000.

However, three pilots at the meeting told of concerns about

landing on the rough and uneven surface. Two said they avoided using their brakes and relied instead “on flaps and Mother Nature” to slow their planes. Pilot Chuck Lesinski of Siren says he won’t land at Grantsburg Municipal. “Propellers are expensive and mine has only a nine-inch clearance,” he said.

A speaker who said he was undecided suggested the board look at a mid-level runway repair that would be more than crack sealing but not an entire rebuild. Village employees said that such a repair would be investigated but unlikely to meet FAA and BOA requirements.

QUESTIONS, CONCERNS REMAIN Many questions and concerns remain for both the pilots’ group and the board. Among them are: • Would seal cracking or a mid-level repair disqualify the airport from receiving funds for the next phase of airport development, which is to add a self-contained and credit-card operated airplane fueling system.

• The village attorney recommends a 10-year loan period for the pilots to pay the local share, while they were planning on a 20-year payback.

• The attorney also recommends that the pilots form an officially recognized organization as the entity that represents the pilots and negotiates with the board.

• The attorney recommends the board request an escrow amount from the pilots of at least 10 percent of the costs, or $6-7,000 in an account at the start of the project.

For their part, the pilots also say that all the steps must fall into place or they, too, will be reluctant to proceed. They plan to fly to Madison to meet with Airport Development Engineer Matt Messina of the BOA, who has visited the Grantsburg Airport and met with the pilots and village board.

At the close of the meeting, Village President Larry Ebersold told the pilots in attendance, “We support the airport.” and we hope the plans you have for it all come to fruition.”

Theodore “Ted” L. Phernetton, Sr., 81, formerly of Webster, passed away July 24, 2017, after a hard-fought battle with cancer.

A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m. (visitation 1-3 p.m.), Saturday, Aug. 5 at Swedberg-Taylor Funeral Home of Webster. The committal with full military honors will follow the service at Jackson Cemetery.

Ted was born to Irvine and Ruby (Burlingame) Phernettonon on Oct. 19, 1935 in Breckinridge, Minn.

He was the third youngest of four sons in the family.

Growing up was tough for the four boys as they lost their mother when Ted was only five years old. Hard times helped shape them all, as they were all resilient and resourceful. Ted cared deeply for his brothers and was saddened by the passing of each.

Ted attended Webster High School, but left school early to serve his country. He enlisted in the U.S. Army and was a member of the 1st Calvary. He was deployed to Korea where he saw combat at a very young age. He served proudly and remained proud of his service to his country all his life.

He also loved his grandchildren: Colby Frazier; and Kara, Kyle, Katie, MyKenna Marie and Tyler Phernetton. The mention of his great-grandchildren, Ella Lucy, Sammy and Hadley would bring a smile to his face.

Throughout his life, Ted had several occupations, many of which showcased his abilities as a craftsman.

He particularly enjoyed classic country and western music, woodworking and reading. He and Bonnie enjoyed a lifestyle that allowed them to move to several different states and cities. Ted most recently lived with his daughter, Cindy, in Oklahoma City.

Vehicle chase leads to multiple felony charges SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY—Two individuals face multiple felony charges after attempting to elude officers by car on the night of July 12 in Daniels Township.

The chase led to the arrest of Jessica Meyer, 28, Frederic and Cole Ronningen, 27, Grantsburg.

After the arrest, officers conducted a vehicle search and discovered 32.39 grams of methamphetamine, a scale, packaging material, and smoking devices along with a stun gun belonging to Meyer. A black holster was uncovered, along with magazines for a highpoint handgun. A firearm was later discovered “near the scene.”

The firearm discovered is reported as “a break action single shot Harrington Richardson 20 gauge shotgun.” The barrel was cut down approximately 12.5 inches, an illegal action. The firearm was in possession of Ronningen before discarding it from the vehicle. According to Polk County court record, Ronningen is a convicted felon.

Officers were dispatched to an address on Shuttleworth Rd. around 9 p.m. after receiving multiple calls from unidentified individuals reporting a domestic disturbance on the property. According to the criminal complaint, Ronningen was seen on the property armed with a handgun.

Enroute to the property, an officer passed a blue, occupied vehicle. While backing up to make contact with the occupants, the car “accelerated quickly and went north towards Hwy 70.” The leading vehicle did not have headlights on. Meyer was later identified as the driver and Ronningen as the passenger.

The officer states the vehicle then sped past a stop sign and drove west on the highway. While in pursuit, the officer notified further law enforcement and followed the blue car as it turned north on Church Rd. “The driver almost lost control several times,” the officer stated in the complaint due to the gravel road.

At one point, the passenger of the pursued vehicle stuck his head out of the window.

“It appeared he had something in his hand,” but the

officer was unable to identify the object.

The chase then turned onto North Mudhen Lake Rd. At the intersection of that road and Rangeline Rd. the blue vehicle turned south on Rangeline after spotting a warden situated at the south side of the intersection.

The Warden states he saw the passenger throw an object out of the window. While the warden stayed behind to mark the item, another officer joined the chase. Soon after, the pursued pulled over a quarter mile north of Hwy 70. Meyer and Ronningen made their hands visible out of the windows.

The officers existed their vehicles and conducted a felony stop. Meyer and Ronningen were placed under arrest without further obstruction.

Meyer faces the following charges, one count of possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine (class D felony), attempting to flee or elude a traffic officer (class I felony), possession of an electronic weapon (class H felony), possession of drug paraphernalia (misdemeanor).

Ronningen faces charges of possession with intent to deliver methamphetmaine (class D felony), possession of a firearm by a felon (class G felony), possession of a short-barreled shotgun (class H felony), possession of drug paraphernalia (misdemeanor).

Both are scheduled to appear in Burnett County Circuit Court at 11 a.m. October 2 for preliminary hearings.

Bryan Davis Lead Pastor Dwelling Point Church

Elijah was the greatest of the Old Testament Prophets. Elijah had a contest on Mount Carmel against some false prophets and called down fire from Heaven proving that his God was the real God. This event and many others in the prophetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life made him look invincible. One day a messenger from Jezebel delivered the news that Jezebel planned to kill the prophet the next day. Instantly, her threat painted a picture inside of Elijah. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that Jezebel was ever a real threat to Elijah. In fact, she never pursued that goal past the piece of paper that was de-

livered to him. Elijah was running moreso from a threat that was in his head than he was from her.

Now this prophet that appeared so invincible on Mount Carmel is hiding in the wilderness begging God to kill him before Jezebel does. After all, Elijah had done all the miracles for God, and he is utterly exhausted. Because of this exhaustion, he is living in fear of a threat that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even real. When life tires us out, our perception is way off. God had to get Elijahs perception right again.

He did so by sending an angel to provide

Elijah with two meals.

The first meal helped Elijah recover from his journey.

The second meal prepared him for his next season.

In order to get out from living under exhaustion, it is essential to detox yourself from everything that you have experienced at this juncture. All the pain, heartache and weariness must be done away with. The other meal is to lead you into your future. I declare that your past is over; the journey is long, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to move into your destiny.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Roses in Decemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on stage at Village Players Community Theatre â&#x20AC;&#x153;Roses In December,â&#x20AC;? a play by Samuel French, is part mystery, part memoirs and part romance. When young PhD candidate, Carolyn, is assigned the task of recruiting famously reclusive author Joel Gordon to attend the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alumni Weekend, he repeatedly declines. But Carolynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenacity prevails. A series of letters between the pair deepens into a friendship eventually revealing a secret from Gordonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past, which may bring to light who Carolynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real father is.

Director: Jim Anderson, of Eagan, MN and his wife recently bought a cabin on North Sand Lake and after attending a Village Players Community Theatre (VPCT) performance last summer, where they, in his words, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Had a riot,â&#x20AC;? he expressed interest to the VPCT Board in directing this seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited to be directing my first Village Players production,â&#x20AC;? said Anderson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a pleasure to direct such a wellwritten and witty play. The audience will laugh, and some will have a tear,â&#x20AC;? noted Anderson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Roses in Decemberâ&#x20AC;?

tugs on all emotions.

The cast: Miranda Burger portrays Carolyn Meyers, an ambitious college student who tries to convince a famous alumnus, author Joel Gordon, to attend a weekend event. On-going correspondence between the two develops into a relationship that eventually yields a surprising revelation.

This is Miranda Burgerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second production with the Village Players. The first was in the play â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drinking Habitsâ&#x20AC;? staged last summer.

Gaylen Brown returns to the VPCT in the role of Joel Gordon, who he describes as an author whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lived a colorful lifestyle in his earlier days during college. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very excited to be back on the VPCT stage,â&#x20AC;? Gaylen.

Gaylen currently serves on VPCT Board of Directors as treasurer, a role he has held the past two years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Roses in Decemberâ&#x20AC;? marks Gaylenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third play with VPCT. Previously he played Edmond in â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Murder is Announcedâ&#x20AC;? and Froggy in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Foreigner.â&#x20AC;?

The stage was well put together to portray the rooms of the two characters. Joel Gordon writes in response to letters sent from his longtime, Prescott College friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; daughter, Carolyn Meyers.
